STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The Directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.  

Business review
 
The Company’s principal activity is that of an intermediate holding company. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Eagle Superco Limited. Eagle Superco Limited and its subsidiaries, including this Company are collectively referred to as the Busy Bees group of companies (‘the Group’). The principal activity of the Group is the provision of day care nursery services.

The Company made a loss for the financial year of £24,977,000 (2024: profit of £515,690,000), the reason for the reduction in profit from prior year is due to a dividend of £550m being received in the prior year; no dividends have been received in the current year. The loss for the year is attributable to higher interest costs on loan notes and intercompany balances than interest received in the year on intercompany balances. It is expected that the company will continue to act as an investment holding company for the foreseeable future. 

The Company has not identified particular key performance indicators due to its nature being an intermediate holding company. The value of the company’s investments and consequently its ability to settle its liabilities are linked to the performance of the Group. The Group has taken advantage of section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated financial statements for this Company.

Group business review

The Group’s mission is to give every child the best start in life with a vision to be the leader in high quality, affordable early years education. The Group’s strategy supports this mission and vision, our strategy is to use our worldwide data and insights to advantage curriculum, enrolment and efficiency. We believe this strategy will help to deliver superior child outcomes, parent experiences and operational results. Underpinning this strategy are our over-arching priority to ensure a safe and secure environment for the children in our care and our three strategic priorities, being:

∙to strengthen our service for parents and children
∙invest in our teams and tools for them to be at their best
∙create a data-driven, more efficient back office and expansion plan

The Group’s goal, underpinned by this strategy, is to extend the reach of our network of centres and increase their average occupancy. Further detail on progress against our strategy and strategic priorities is included in the Eagle Superco Limited Annual Report and financial statements.

Operational and financial performance for the Group has been strong during 2025. 

The Group generated revenue from continuing operations of £1,225.0m (2024: £1,137.5m) driven by increases in average achieved centre fees, occupancy growth, and the full year effect of 2024 acquisitions and new centres as well as the benefit of new centres and centres acquired during 2025.

Operating profit from continuing operations increased to £172.3m, (2024: £158.2m) as a result of revenue growth being offset by increases in labour and cost increases. After net interest costs of £320.7m, (2024: £218.6m) the Group made a loss before tax from continuing operations of £150.9m, (2024: loss before tax from continuing operations of £71.5m).

In December 2024 the Group agreed with its lenders to raise a further €120.0m loan under the Group’s Senior Facilities Agreement (“SFA”). This was drawn in early January 2025 and consolidated with the previous Euro loan of €812.1m. The proceeds of this raise were used to fund the acquisition of the Learn and Play Montessori Schools in the USA which completed on 3 January 2025. In addition, the debt raise was used to repay the Group’s previously drawn Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") of £24.0m, (which had been utilised to support some

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

of the Group’s 2024 acquisitions), and to make available funds for pipeline acquisitions.

On the 29 August 2025 the Group completed an amend and extend of its SFA held by this company. This exercise extended the maturity of the Group’s €932.1m and £365.9m senior facilities to February 2032 within a revised and supplemented SFA. As part of this process the Group also increased its RCF to £150.0m.

The Group had net finance costs paid, payable or received for the year of £78.9m, (2024: £86.9m), of which £17.2m (2024: £28.9m) is in this Company. We anticipate interest costs to remain significant in the short term and as a result we will need to retain discipline with respect to costs, investments and liquidity management.

Financing

As at July 2026, the Group has a SFA in place with GBP and Euro Term Loan B (“TLB”) loans of £365.9m and €1,162.1m respectively. The Group has a £150.0m undrawn RCF at 31 July 2026, however £19.0m of the undrawn RCF is held for bank guarantees.

The TLB loans have a term to February 2032 and incur interest at SONIA + a margin and EURIBOR + a margin, dependent on the Group’s leverage ratio as reported by the Group to its lenders on a quarterly basis. For the majority of the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group was incurring interest at SONIA + 4.5% on the GBP loan and EURIBOR + 3.5% on the Euro loan. From July 2026, the Group is incurring interest at SONIA + 4.5% on the GBP loan and EURIBOR + 3.25% on the Euro loan. The Group’s RCF has a term to August 2031, the RCF incurs interest on any amount drawn at SONIA + 3.5% from July 2026.

Base rates of interest reduced since prior year but have remained at around 4% for SONIA and around 2% for EURIBOR across the year. The Group has mitigated the risk of further rises in base rate interest costs through the use of interest rate caps. An interest rate cap was in place to June 2025 which capped £183.0m of GBP debt at a SONIA rate of 3.5%, a further £183.0m of GBP debt at a SONIA rate of 5.0%. Euro debt of €318.5m was capped at a EURIBOR rate of 2.5% and a further €318.5m of Euro debt was capped at a EURIBOR rate of 4.0%. Interest rate caps are in place from 30 June 2025 to 30 June 2027 which cap EURIBOR on €932.1m of the Group’s euro debt at 3.5% and SONIA on the Group’s GBP debt of £365.9m at 5.0%. Further interest rate caps are in place from 30 June 2027 to 30 June 2028 which cap EURIBOR on €1.162.1m of the Group's euro debt at 3.5% and SONIA on the Group's GBP debt of £365.9m at 5.0%

Going concern

In preparation of the financial statements, the directors have made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. After making enquiries and taking account of the factors set out in note 2 of the financial statements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have access to adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.

Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Company
 
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006 (the ‘Act’) (as amended by the Companies (Miscellaneous Reporting) Regulations 2018), the Directors provide this statement describing how they have had regard to the matters set out in section 172(1) of the Act, when performing their duty to promote the success of the Company, under section 172.
The Directors always aim to act in the best interests of the Company, and to be fair and balanced in its approach. The needs of different stakeholders are always considered as well as the consequences of any decision in the long-term and the importance of our internally published high standards of business conduct.  More specific information is given in sub-paragraphs (a) to (f), which correspond to the individual factors disclosed under Section 172(1).

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

a. Long-term decision making

The directors maintain oversight of the Company’s performance, and reserves to itself specific matters for approval. In addition to this, any major decisions with long-term implications, including significant new business initiatives, would need shareholder approval under the Company Articles of Association, to ensure that the business decisions taken locally are in alignment with the long-term strategy of the Company. Any decisions approved either locally or by the Shareholders, are then implemented, with subsequent director oversight to ensure these are in accordance with the agreed strategy. 

b. Stakeholders: Employees

The Company has no employees. Directors are officers of the Company.

c. Stakeholders: Customers, Suppliers, Others

As a holding company, the Company does not trade. However, lenders are important to our business as the Group seeks external debt funding to help support its strategy for growth. The Group’s interactions with its lenders ensures that they have sufficient information to reach appropriate conclusions about the risks and opportunities faced by the Group. The Group Management team and members of the Board, provide our bank lending syndicate with a quarterly covenant compliance certificate and quarterly accounts to ensure they are kept informed of business activities and progress. On an annual basis, the Group Chief Executive Officer and the Group Chief Financial Officer hold a lender presentation to provide them with an update on the Group and its strategy (both financial and operational) for the coming year.  The Company's loan notes are held by shareholders of the group and therefore these loan note holders are engaged with via their shareholding mechanisms. 

d. Stakeholders: Community & Environment

As a holding company, the Company does not undertake community and environmental engagement.

e. Reputation for high standards of business conduct

The directors are responsible for developing the corporate culture across the Company, which promotes integrity and transparency. The Company uses the same comprehensive systems of corporate governance and approves policies and procedures which promote corporate responsibility and ethical behaviour, as are implemented within Eagle Topco Limited and its subsidiaries. Central to these policies is the Code of Conduct. This applies to all directors and employees of the Group and is embedded into the Company’s operations.

f. Acting fairly as between members of the Company

The directors aim to understand the views of its shareholder and always to act in their best interests. In order to do this, the directors work closely with the principal shareholder on a very regular basis to ensure operations, strategy and performance are aligned with the long-term objectives of the shareholders, while complying with the Articles of Association of the Company.

Statement on Employee Engagement

The Company has no employees. Directors are officers of the Company.

Statement on Business Relationships

As a holding company, the Company does not trade.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Principal risks, uncertainties and financial risk management
 
The Company considers its key risks to be in relation to the value of its investments and therefore whether any impairment is required and also the recoverability of its inter-company debt.

Credit risk
The Company’s principal assets are investments in subsidiary companies. The Company also has receivables that primarily relate to other group companies. Any impairment arising on these is recognised based on comparisons to the recoverable amount and solvency/liquidity of these undertakings. The directors have made an assessment and concluded that the Company’s receivables are not credit impaired.

Liquidity risk
The Company’s funding requirements are under constant review. All funding is carried out through Eagle Bidco Limited or other UK group related companies either on a short term loan basis or through the cash pooling arrangement.

The risks detailed below are those that are considered to affect the Group and are deemed relevant to this Company and its subsidiaries.

People risk
The Company does not have any employees, however people and the risk from people is a principal risk for the Group. The Group has a principal risk around the recruitment and retention of employees, particularly centre level qualified employees, and the impact and likelihood of this principal risk materialising has reduced for the Group in the last year. The impact of this risk is defined as the Group not achieving the desired business performance, growth and quality as the Group may not have enough suitably qualified employees to operate at the desired level or grow occupancy, and replacement employees may have less experience. Alongside this, the Group has a risk with respect to reward levels, as there continues to be some upward cost pressure on wages due to a competitive recruitment market, government wage legislation and wider macroeconomic pressures in some locations. Increased costs are built into operating plans. 

In response to these risks the Group monitors the operational and financial impact of key people related KPIs such as attrition and employee engagement, and wage increases closely and takes appropriate action as needed. The Group has run an education and training programme in the UK, Asia, North America and Australia and is planning to implement a global learning management system to support these activities. This not only allows the Group to efficiently offer high quality training to employees (supporting retention), but also to bring through a pipeline of suitably qualified employees to meet demand and address this risk. There has been an investment in the number of apprentices and trainees recruited across the Group and changes to the wider recruitment processes to allow these to be more efficient and effective. At the start of 2026 the Group made a further investment in employees’ remuneration as well as enhancing benefits around recognition and long service to support retention. As a result of these activities the Group has seen an improvement in retention rates year on year, reducing these risks.

Market risk
The Company does not trade and therefore market risk is limited but the Group considers its key risks to be as
follows, aside from the key risks facing most businesses, for example those of reputation and competition and
market change: 
∙safeguarding and safety for young children at our centres. The Group has a Group Chief Quality Officer and Safeguarding Lead (“CQO”) and Divisional Quality, Safeguarding and Safety teams that define policy and procedures and monitor and report compliance performance by the operational teams. The Group has safeguarding and safety protocols to monitor and take action in respect of safeguarding and safety risks, which is overseen by the CQO. The Group has seen increased stakeholder focus on safeguarding and safety, with incidents across the industry attracting greater public, political and regulatory scrutiny of standards, with increased risk of regulatory change and potential litigation. The Group continues to prioritise its focus on this risk, in line with continuous improvement is reviewing controls and increasing consistency across the SBUs.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025


Principal risks and uncertainties (continued)

Market risk (continued)
∙change of government policy and the implementation of policy at a divisional level, including conditions of licensing and entitlement funding. The Group actively engages in many of the countries it operates in with government at a ministerial, civil service and local level and periodically reviews its compliance with policy and funding requirements. Any changes to the legal and regulatory environment are captured as emerging risks through our risk management process with identified owners and action plans to ensure compliance when the changes come into effect. Our external legal advisers also provide detailed reviews in respect of existing and upcoming legislation that may affect the Group both operationally and financially. A failure to support changing regulatory standards or achieve compliance with conditions could lead to unanticipate regulatory action, penalties or sanctions, as well as damage to our reputation. The Group continuously monitors this risk and is not presently aware of a material change that would be expected to have a sustained material impact on the Group.
∙cyber-attack/(s) on our IT environment leading to loss of personal data and Company information, as well as ongoing disruption to business operations. This risk has increased across all sectors in the last year and there have been observed high profile cyber security events around the world. The Group has further invested in monitoring tools and controls to manage risks, and increased the rate of ongoing training and the regular stress testing of its IT systems.
∙we continue to manage the medium to longer term impact of the wider economy (in relation to war and conflicts, the risk of recession, cost of living, inflation and increased cost of supplies and utilities, market interest rates) on the affordability of childcare. We have responded to these external factors with some consolidation of our supply chain to capture more economies of scale, which have helped stabilise this risk during the year.

We believe the principal risks to the short-term performance of our customer base, workforce or our supply chain are disclosed above, including the general risks relating to reputation, competition and market change.

Non-financial and sustainability information statement
 
The Group has made mandatory climate-related financial disclosures within the Non-Financial and Sustainability Information Statement of the Group’s Annual Report and Financial statements. As this Company is a subsidiary of the Group, whose activities are included within the consolidated Group’s Annual Report and Financial statements, the Company has not been required to report separately in relation to these disclosures.  


This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.

 In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:

∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed;

∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.

The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EAGLE HOLDCO LIMITED
 

Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements of EAGLE HOLDCO LIMITED (the 'company'):
∙give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its loss for the year then ended; 
∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including  Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"; and
∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006

We have audited the financial statements which comprise:
∙the profit and loss account; 
∙the balance sheet; 
∙the statement of changes in equity;
∙the related notes 1 to 21; and 
∙appendix 1: Investments held as non-current assets.
 
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.
 
We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council’s (the ‘FRC’s’) Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EAGLE HOLDCO LIMITED
 

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
We considered the nature of the company’s industry and its control environment, and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management and the directors about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including those that are specific to the company’s business sector.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that:
    - had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.    These included UK Companies Act and tax legislation; and
    - do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to   the company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EAGLE HOLDCO LIMITED
 

We discussed among the audit engagement team including relevant internal specialists such as tax, valuations, and IT specialists regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:
   - reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance    with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial    statements
   -performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate   risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
   -enquiring of management and in-house legal counsel concerning actual and potential litigation and claims,  and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
   -reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the strategic report and the directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report in respect of the following matters if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1.


General information

Eagle Holdco Limited (the Company) is a company incorporated in England, United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The Company is a private company limited by shares and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company’s registered office is shown on page 7.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The Company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by the FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":
∙the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows;
∙the requirements of Section 3 Financial Statement Presentation paragraph 3.17(d);
∙the requirements of Section 11 Financial Instruments paragraphs 11.42, 11.44 to 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c);
∙the requirements of Section 12 Other Financial Instruments paragraphs 12.26 to 12.27, 12.29(a), 12.29(b) and 12.29A;
∙the requirements of Section 33 Related Party Disclosures paragraph 33.7.

This information is included in the consolidated financial statements of Eagle Superco Limited  as at 31st December 2025 and these financial statements may be obtained from registered offices of this Company.

  
2.3

Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements

The Company’s results are included in the consolidated accounts of Eagle Superco Limited, a company registered in England, United Kingdom.  Accordingly the Company has taken advantage of the exemption given in s400 of the Companies Act 2006 from preparing and delivering Group accounts. The financial statements therefore contain information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its Group.  

  
2.4

Functional currency

The functional currency is pounds sterling as that is the currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Going concern

In preparation of the financial statements, the directors have had access to the necessary information and made an assessment of the Group’s and the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

As at 31 December 2025 the Company has net current liabilities of £47,737,000 (2024: £35,725,000). The Company is reliant on the support of its ultimate parent company, Eagle Superco Limited, to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. However, the directors consider that the Company is an integral part of Eagle Superco Limited structure and strategy, which is evidenced by a letter of comfort from Eagle Superco Limited, which states its commitment to provide necessary financial support to ensure that the Company is a going concern for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

The Group has existing TLB loans of £365.9m and €1,162.1m under its SFA. In addition, the Group has a £150.0m RCF. The TLB loans expire in February 2032, the RCF expires in August 2031. The TLB loans are a ‘cov-lite’ facility meaning there are no leverage covenant tests on the Group’s financing other than if more than 40% of the Group’s RCF is drawn. In this scenario, a leverage covenant of Group indebtedness to EBITDA of 9.85 times would apply. The maximum amount of RCF drawn at any one time during the year was £24.0m. The amount drawn at 31 December 2025 was £nil; with an amount of £16.0m held for bank guarantees leaving available undrawn RCF of £134.0m. In January 2026, the Group drew down £45.5m on its RCF to fund acquisitions, in addition the RCF held for bank guarantees was increased to £19.0m. In March 2026, the Group increased its Euro loan by €140m with the proceeds used to settle the drawn RCF of £45.5m and repay a proportion of mezzanine financing held by the Group. The Group drew a further €90.0m Euro Loan on 29 May 2026 with this also used to repay a proportion of mezzanine financing held by the Group. In the year to 31 December 2025 the Group made a loss after tax from continuing operations of £150.9m, has net current liabilities of £158.0m and has net liabilities of £773.3m.

The Group has prepared detailed forecasts for the period up to September 2027 which demonstrate that the Group is able to generate sufficient cash flows to operate within its financing arrangements. These assumptions are made by management based on recent performance, external forecasts and management’s knowledge and expertise of the Group’s cashflow drivers. The Group’s forecasts include the material impacts of known changes in government funding, increases in employment and other costs realised or expected to be realised during 2026 and 2027 and expected increases in income as a result of planned price increases and expected occupancy growth. The forecast excludes any non-committed future acquisitions and developments. 

The forecast demonstrated that the Group is able to operate within its financing arrangements. The covenant compliance ratio at December 2025 is 4.25:1 vs a maximum ratio of 9.85:1. EBITDA at December 2025, as defined by the SFA, would need to fall by 57% in order to breach forecast covenant compliance. 

The Group cannot predict the direct or indirect impact of any potential economic slowdown or other events, and the below sensitivities are deemed sufficiently robust in light of current global macroeconomic developments. Having reviewed the Group’s principal risks, the most significant impact on the Group’s cashflows would be a combination of the Group’s principal risks materialising in a temporary or prolonged reduction in average achieved fee and/or occupancy, and consequently, cashflows. The current forecast is based on the Group’s 2026 operating plan and thereafter the Group’s longer-term forecasts.
 
To assess any potential impact on the Group’s cashflows and liquidity, various sensitivities have been performed reflecting a reduction in occupancy rates, including occupancy falling up to 7% below the current forecast. This reduction in occupancy is considered a reasonable reduction to sensitise the

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)


2.5
Going concern (continued)

Group’s cashflows as it is based on the Group’s previous experience of occupancy trends following the impact of global economic slowdowns. In combination with sensitising the impact of a fall in occupancy, the Group has also sensitised the Group’s cashflows in 2027 to the specific principal risk of further cost and interest cost increases. Cost increases of a further 2%, from higher-than-expected employee costs and other supply costs above those already included within the Group’s forecast. 

The Group has also sensitised higher than expected interest costs over what has been included in the forecast by modelling an increase in SONIA/ EURIBOR rates. To offset the effect of these items, the Group has modelled the effect of removing planned capital expenditure cashflows on new sites in FY26 and FY27.

Under the combination of these sensitivities, and with occupancy falling to 7% below the current forecast, the Group would have a minimum liquidity headroom, inclusive of the available undrawn RCF, of £156.4m in the forecast period and would remain in compliance with the leverage test covenant within its SFA. The impact of other mitigating actions, such as reducing development capital expenditure on existing centres and reducing head office costs, which could protect cashflow and profitability have not been modelled and would be available as further mitigating actions to preserve liquidity.

In the period to July 2026, the Group is performing broadly in line with expectations for overall cashflows, with differing performance by country on occupancy and costs. Overall cashflows are broadly in line with the cashflows underpinning the forecast prepared for the purposes of assessing going concern. As at July 2026, the Group has a drawn RCF of £nil, an amount of £19.0m held for bank guarantees, leaving available undrawn RCF of £131.0m.

Accordingly, the Directors have made inquiries with the directors of the Group and as a result of these inquiries noted that there were no issues around the Group’s ability to continue as a Going Concern and that the Group continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its annual report and financial statements. 

After making enquiries and taking account of the factors noted above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have access to adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements. 

 
2.6

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

Interest costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

 
2.8

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.9

Taxation

Current UK corporation tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the Company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for timing differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the timing difference and it is probable that it will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Deferred tax relating to property, plant and equipment carried at deemed cost is provided based on the difference between the accounts and tax base costs.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.10

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.


 
2.11

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.12

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.13

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is

Financial instruments (continued)

measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. 

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

Basic financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially

Financial instruments (continued)

recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Other financial instruments

Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.

Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.

Derecognition of financial instruments

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from the sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future period if the revision affects both current and future periods. 

There were no critical judgements, or key sources of estimation uncertainty that the Directors have made in the process of applying the accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Factors that may affect future tax charges

The standard rate of tax applied to the reported loss on ordinary activities is 25.00%  (2024 - 25.00%). 
Deferred tax balances have been calculated based on the rates at the date of restatement that will apply when the timing differences are expected to reverse. Accordingly, a rate of 25.00% has been used as at 31 December 2025  (2024 - 25.00%).
  
The Company has applied the amendments made to FRS 102 that introduce a temporary exception to the accounting and disclosure for deferred tax, or potential income tax consequences arising from Pillar Two legislation. Disclosures relating to the potential income tax consequences of Pillar Two legislation on the Group are disclosed within the Group’s financial statements. Accordingly, the Company neither recognises nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
